I used to listen to every single one of Jimmy's videos. I was a dedicated fan.
Now today, I just can't face listening to him. What changed?

America Has The Tinder To IGNITE a Social Uprising - Chris Hedges and Jimmy Dore (44 min)

I’ve decided to tackle the Great Jimmy Dore Controversy piecemeal, since when I try to analyze the entire thing, I feel like I’ve eaten tainted hamburger.

This is the age of patent medicines. A discussion is difficult down here.
--James Joyce, Ulysses

Last night Jimmy Dore had Dylan Ratigan on to talk about the latest "stimulus " bill that Congress passed without the Senators and Representatives even having a chance to read and study all 5,593 pages of this pork laden bill. Only two Democrats in the House voted against this bill, Tulsi Gabbard and Rashida Tlaib. Here is the log of the votes in the Senate. Bernie voted for it so he has zero right to complain about the Republicans or the bill.

I criticized Jimmy Dore because I made the mistake of giving the people who were the objects of his ire the benefit of the doubt. It's my default position, unless I have enough information to think otherwise. This attitude normally serves me well.
This time, OTOH, was the exception to that rule.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and I don't regret it. I clearly remember defending Ralph Nader on DKos from blue-check partisans that blamed him for the Democrats defeat.
They like to point out that Nader got 24,000 votes in Florida. Most of those votes were not from Democrats.
I would reply "what gives you the right to expect votes from other parties? And why do you not blame the 240,000 Democrats who voted for Bush?"

This is the subtitle of an article published on Medium by Umair Haque. Ironically, the day before Jimmy Dore called our attention to this article in a conversation with Dylan Ratigan, our own Steven D posted a comment in reply to a tweet on Twitter. I saw his comment and added my own. Our two comments may be more prescient than either of us realized at the time we posted them.
